Linda and I ventured on a two week trip that took us to Iceland via Amsterdam,
the Shetland Islands, and the Faroe Islands. We left Columbus on Sunday, June
25, 2023 and flew to Amsterdam via Toronto on an uneventful flight. After two
days in Amsterdam we boarded the ship the Azamara Journey which departed on June
28. We arrived in the Shetland Islands after one day at sea. From there we
sailed to the Faroe Islands. Then we spent one full day at sea before arriving
at Seyðisfjörður for our first day in Iceland. We visited 4 other ports, Húsavík,
Akureyri, Sauðárkróksbakarí, and Ísafjörður before arriving at our final stop in
Reykjavik. We spent two days (one more than planned) in the city of Reykjavik
before heading home on July 11, 2023.
The extra day came about because Air Canada cancelled our planned flight on
Monday, July 10. They rebooked us on Delta flights a day later. Lucky for us we
were still at our hotel and they allowed us to stay an extra night. The other
exciting event was a 5.2 earthquake on the night of July 9. Our hotel room
rumbled, shook, and the bed nearly walked across the floor. The next day a new
volcano opened up and lava flowed out.
The images are broken up into 4 parts. Come along as we explore Amsterdam in
part 1. Part 2 contains images from the Shetland Islands and the Faroe Islands.
Part 3 are the 5 ports we stopped at around Iceland. The final part are images
from in and around Reykjavik.
I sure hope you enjoy these images. I had a blast making them and totally
enjoyed every part of this trip. Sit back and pretend you were at my side when I
made the images.
